Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI is a new-generation imaging tool for detecting prostate cancer. The extent of bone metastasis and the presence of visceral metastasis on whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI according to METastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer (MET-RADS-P) were associated with a lower cancer-specific survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer. Furthermore, whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI facilitates identification of oligo-progressive lesions, which can be targets for loco-regional radiotherapy. MET-RADS-P score of whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI can be an imaging biomarker for castration-resistant prostate cancer in predicting clinical course, and identifying oligo-progressive lesions as targets for loco-regional ablative therapy.
